Why have they got pack 1 and pack 2 mixed up all over the show? Pack 1 should be all together and so should pack 2!


If you only subscribe to one pack, and they've got them all mixed up, you'll have to flick past channels you don't subscribe to in order to find the ones you do.

By being a nuisance, SKY might trap a few customers who go "aw, I wish I subscribed to the other pack too, look what I'm missing!"

Da'hh dammit! there I go again! I signed another D/D for BSkyB. They should stop leaving the forms next to the fresh muffins with extra cream and jam....

EDIT: I didn't sign anything!

I'm not sure what you're implying with that post, but I don't think I'm wrong.

If you mix the two lots of channels together, people who only subscribe to one package will have the other package waving in their face.

They might show good films, but as I saw on my latest bill, I had watched them on Box Office, so no point having them on Movies too....

Sky was told where to place their improved package this evening (after 7years so I think they have done wrong by established customers)

EDIT:
They were quick! Movies off already! And that's before the refund!


How much are Sky Box Office movies?, the last time I ever used them was back in 1998 for a UK Wrestling event!

Mind you with the ahem technology today, I wouldn't go near them and pay them money to watch a movie!

I personally think that rather than spliting it into 2 mixes, they should have a mix and match system, that way subscribers can pick exactly what they like.

I also hate the way we have to have both packs to get the premiere channels, as pack 1 is the only one that interests me, but I also want the premiere channels, so I will end up paying for a pack I don't want now.

Sorry to double post, but here's a thought I just had, where does Disney Cinemagic come into this. At the moment, Cinemagic comes free with Sky Movies, but now, what pack will it come free with, or do we have to have both? From what I see, it would make sense to have it with Pack 1 (as that has the family and comedy channels), but knowing Sky, they might have other ideas.

I think you have to subscribe to both, it's always been the case, going back to when The Disney Channel was part of the Sky Movies package.

Oh dear - the "V" is very much like 20th Century Fox's searchlights logo. I know that's part of News International, but they have never stressed the link much before.

I don't think £3.95 for a movie is a "rip off"; a DVD rental from a store or going to the cinema is often more expensive.
